The hostel is amazing, everything there works as it should. It was really clean and the kitchen had everything.

It is open air so nice breezes in this hot climate. Also in the jungle and close to the waterfall.

Breakfast was wonderful, the owners were amazing, the location was perfect. We appreciated the hammocks throughout the hostel and the terrace area to lounge around in after a day of exploring. It was our first time in a hostel and while it is certainly a unique experience with the shared kitchen and very outdoorsy vibe, it was a very cool experience.

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The only thing I would like to change is that the kitchen closes at 9 pm, and it’s too early and they turn off the lights in the common areas at 10, also too early. There’s people like myself that eats late

“Amazing, one of the best place ever!”

• Leisure trip

• Couple

• Double Room with Shared Bathroom

• Stayed 5 nights

Unfortunately, we were told by the locals from Uvita that the criminal rate is going up again... The hostel is quite far up in the mountain and it gets pretty dark at night. Walking back to the hostel when it is dark is dangerous. A couple got attacked 5 minutes before we arrived the last night we were there, right before the hostel. You have to walk to the hostel, out of the road in complete dark for a few minutes and this is where it happened. The locals (taxi drivers, restaurants owners and all told us to be carefull by the beach and at night)

It looks alot better than the pictures on the add. The whole hostel looks amazing, the staff is so sweet and available. The breakfast is the best! Alot of fresh fruits, cappuccino, eggs, toast... etc. Huge and so delicious! In all the countries I travelled, this was my favorite place to stay!

Their discount room, which we first booked, was bad. No real window, no fan, walls weren’t sheet rocked, and no WiFi.
We moved from there quickly.

It is open air so nice breezes in this hot climate. Also in the jungle and close to the waterfall.

It is far from the beach and no public transportation near. I need to walk 1 hour or to take a taxi.

The place is peaceful, give a paradise feeling. I just wanted to stay in and didn't mind about tours. It the perfect place to relax. And clean the mind.
A big and we'll equipped kitchen.

“Great location and facilities with warm and engaging hosts made our visit to Uvita a success”

• Leisure trip

The mattress was hard as a rock and the water heater/showerhead combo was a little sketchier than I was comfortable with.

Breakfast was wonderful, the owners were amazing, the location was perfect. We appreciated the hammocks throughout the hostel and the terrace area to lounge around in after a day of exploring.

Some of the staff seemed a little put-out and could have been friendlier, the beds were not that comfortable and we felt the room furnishings were very basic even for a hostel, there is an additional 13% tax added to the bill not included on the booking.com reservation which we were unaware of and a 5% charge for paying by credit card which was a little inconvenient. On one occasion one of the staff was rude to a local friend of ours and made it very clear he was not welcome to eat with us there. Perhaps the vibe just wasn’t right for us, but if you are looking for a fun and integrated environment, maybe consider looking elsewhere.

Good cooking facilities, nice fellow guests, shower was good, beautiful view and conveniently close to the waterfall which was stunning!!

“Loved staying there in the larger double rooms with own bathroom.”

• Leisure trip

• Double Room with Shared Bathroom

• Submitted from a mobile device

If you're staying in the lower priced rooms, you should be prepared for rather thin walls and hence not so much privacy/long sleep as people start waking up with the sunrise. I'd recommend staying in the larger/higher priced rooms as they provide much more comfort and space.

We loved the setting in the middle of the jungle and super close to the cascada. Also the hostel offers a lot of space for relaxing - there are several hammocks, swings, nice chairs and two terraces. Also the hostel is very clean and well equipped.

“Not for backpackers - ideal for families with babies”

• Leisure trip

• Solo traveler

• Bed in 4-Bed Dormitory Room

• Stayed 3 nights

This is a family "hostel" (not sure this is a hostel in its true sense). Plenty of kids (there is even an area with kids games for them to grab and play). The kitchen will be crowded as families will be cooking their meals. Dogs will bark early in the morning to "welcome" new arrivals. A car is essential is you are wanting to go to the beach or to town or/and to make the most of the surroundings. The hostel is ran by two German families (themselves with kids) and you may be served by their 14 years old son (whom is doing a fair job for a 14 years old). The rooms are ok albeit suffering from the floor that does not absorb any vibrations from anyone who passes by (some people are really heavy footed and this will wake you up). In addition, the rooms have no actual windows but have openings instead. This means that sound is unfiltered - baby crying, dog barking etc will be your wake up call at 6 in the morning. Shame.

The place is really clean and the breakfast is great. The hosts are giving their best, it just wasn't for me... as a backpacker.

“Hot and uncomfortable”

• Leisure trip

• Solo traveler

• Single Room with Shared Bathroom

• Stayed 4 nights

I had a single, private room and it was most definitely not private. Most of the private rooms are next to each other and they don't have an individual roof as they share one large single roof that covers all the private rooms which means you can hear everything. One guy was snoring so loudly I thought he was going to have a heart attack. It's also really hot as the hostel is located in the jungle. There's no ceiling fans or air-conditioning anywhere at the hostel or in the rooms which makes it almost impossible to sleep. Not to mention that the mattresses are very basic and uncomfortable. If you're looking for somewhere cool and comfortable to sleep, this place is definitely not it. I'm not sure why this place has such a high rating. A lot of the reviews have mentioned how cheap this place is and there's a reason for that. There's a few other hostels in Uvita that have air-conditioning or at the very least, ceiling fans so I'd highly recommend you stay there.

The owners are lovely and were very helpful with everything. The breakfast here for $7 USD was also really nice. There's a nice common area to sit and a yoga deck with a nice view.
